Does this knife have a spring assisted opening?

No it is not spring assisted, it opens as though it is. Its a great knife and it opens with the flick of a finger.

The knife does not have a spring assisted opening mechanism. However, the blade opens very smoothly. Holding the blade completely still and pressing down opens the blade approximately 3/4 of the way. It takes a little wrist action to open the blade completely in one motion.

No it does not. It's opened solely by the flick of your finger not an "spring assisted" knife.

The blade will stay open until you close it, it is spring assisted, I hope this answers your question!!

The knife does not have an assisted opening mech. However it is still a very good knife for the price.. Only problem I have had with them is the belt clip screws which come out after time..

No it is not. It has a nob flick open (typically pushed out by your thumb if opened by a single hand), there is no assisted mechanism on this knife. The opening is smooth but I found it to be a bit awkward, I have many thumb open knives like this one and it is just something about the design that feels off in my hand but only when opening, once open - the knife is absolutely fantastic in almost every way. (But you probably are familiar with benchmade)Cheers

not the one i have,,, it is a standard three blade pocket knife... you force the blade open and it is usable.... the blade neither lacks open nor needs to be unlocke to close....

No its not. I bought it and the spring assisted part is not good. It is a good looking and useful knife but its no different from regular knives.

Yes. There's a little "lever" on the back edge, opposite the blade, that when pushed flips open the blade. Great feature!

Agree with Endy. It is not assisted but you'll be able to open it just as quickly with minimal practice. Carry this knife every single day. Can't recommend it enough.

No, but it has a flipper (tab sticking off the blade that, when closed, sticks out the back at 90 degrees) that allows one handed opening.

No it's not but it opens so easily it may as well be, You can either hook it on your pants pocket while you draw the knife (quickest opening I have seen on any knife) or you can flick the thumb stud, You may have to adjust the screw for smoothest opening but it works really well, I'd rate it almost as fast as a GOOD spring assisted knife like my SOG Flashback.

Yes it is spring assisted. Once it moves it immediately opens all the way. How fast does it open? Well it is spring assisted so it opens pretty fast.Hope that helps.

This is a spring-assist. In other words, it requires more that a push of a button to open. Having said that, it is 1 hand operation to open to a locking position. I use this knife nearly everyday at work, and recently one of the ladies in the office needed to borrow it to slice veggies when she forgot her paring knife. It is very durable, and i would recommend it to anyone.

No, it is not spring assisted. It has IKBS bearing system and a very smooth action. I love the knife and carry when working in shop, etc. a little too heavy for edc, but would give it five stars for design, smooth action, sharp blade.Easily opened with one hand.

Yes it does. Great knife in the hands of someone who knows how it works. Wife broke mine by opening it with the lock on thus breaking the lock which is plastic and designed not to be forced open.

This knife is spring assisted. With the spring force and thumb force it opens in less than a quarter second, which has always been fast enough for me and fast enough to surprise anyone who asked to use a knife.

It does not have assisted opening. The action is incredibly smooth however. You won't have any problem deploying the blade with the thumb hole.
